Wary of Yogurt. Through some deft last-minute maneuvers, Archbishop Makarios, the island's bearded President, managed to sidestep some of the immediate consequences of the settlement. Under the agreement, the Turks and Greeks called on him to disband his 11,000-man Greek Cypriot National Guard and to grant wide police powers to the 4,000 U.N. peace-keeping troops stationed on Cyprus. Fearing an encroachment on Cyprus' sovereignty, Makarios replied that he wanted the Security Council to endorse the truce package before he finally acted. That could mean never-since France and the Soviet Union oppose...
...Greeks promised to remove within two months the 8,000 or so troops that they have illegally infiltrated into Cyprus during the past seven years, leaving only the 950 that they are entitled to station there under the island's 1960 independence accords. They also agreed to disband the 11,000-man Greek Cypriot National Guard, to pay damages to the Turkish Cypriot villagers of Ayios Theodores and Kophinou for the Nov. 15 attack by Greek General George Grivas and his Guards men, and to keep Old Hawk Grivas off the island. For their part, the Turks agreed...
...operations of the triangle's third side, SDS (Students for a Democratic Society). The future form and content of student politics is what's at stake in the interplay of these three forces.

As a result, there would probably never be a mass movement...
...Bunting has refused to appoint any new members, because she feels it would be "an imposition on their time." She argues that the Committee was asked to make its recommendations to the June Council meeting, and that it was to disband at that time. The Committee did report on its first charge--the housing problem. It put off the second until the fall when it would have more time to do a more extensive study. Members wanted, for instance, to look into some of the answers that had been tried at other colleges, such as the "Antioch Plan," where students...
Building Pigpens. Well aware of the South Vietnamese army's inadequacies, the Vietnamese joint general staff is at work on plans to reorganize its forces "from top to bottom," as Ky puts it. One proposal would disband the four corps commands and the ten divisions, with their tempting opportunities for warlord graft and corruption, and create more flexible units that would specialize in pacification efforts, counterguerrilla action, and search-and-destroy missions. With U.S. help, General Vien has launched several new training programs designed to help soldiers learn everything from setting guerrilla-style ambushes to assisting villagers in building...
